Christopher Jordan

Austin, Texas

Passionate About:

A great man once said:

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Although I am, without a doubt, very passionate about the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf touches on something very important in this quote - how we should spend the time we have. People are capable of a whole range of things, some good, and some bad. I am passionate about making sure the good outweighs the bad. One of the main reasons I am in college is to learn how others live, and to learn what empathy truly means. With that knowledge, there is no selfishness – only the desire to sacrifice for the benefit of others.

Volunteer Activity Message

Fundraise with your Global Business Brigades chapter on campus to meet the minimum $1,500 USD annual chapter contribution.

The annual chapter contribution directly supports the Community Investment Fund, which enables year-round economic development in partner communities carried out by our local teams. The Community Investment Fund is a critical component to GB’s Sustainable Transition Plan. Once a partner community has met specific health and economic development goals and brigades are no longer necessary, GB transitions projects fully to the community and offers follow-up with our local staff.

The more you fundraise, the more impact we make together!

BUSINESS Suggested donation amount: $25
On average, $25 provides a micro-loan to increase one family’s income potential.
